Overview
Throstle Nest House is a detached luxury holiday cottage and is the perfect place to spend a well earned break from the hustle and bustle of life.
The cottage is beautifully appointed and fully equipped. It enjoys a very peaceful location nestling in the hillside above the River Swale and has superb views of Swaledale from wherever you look. Only a few miles drive from the picturesque villages of Reeth, Muker and Gunnerside.
This traditional-style, Dales farmhouse was completely renovated, to an architect’s design and the latest building standards, in 2013 and commands one of the most glorious views of Swaledale. Its living space is modern, spacious, warm and light, the house is stylishly furnished and it has been thoughtfully equipped to provide you with the comforts you’d expect from home.
Whether you want to take a different walk every day right from the door, go cycling up Dale and down, drive the heather-clad moorland roads or simply stay in and read a good book by the fire, bake a cake for afternoon tea or cook a delicious evening meal, Throstle Nest is truly a perfect and relaxing place to stay, both inside and out.
As soon as you arrive, you’ll feel a million miles away from it all. And yet the house is perfectly accessible by road. Should you be tempted to get back in your car, you’ve picture-postcard Dales villages, great tourist attractions, good shops and top restaurants just a short drive away.
Throstle Nest House offers easy access to unspoilt landscapes and provides walkers and cyclists with the perfect holiday escape. A perfect place to recharge your batteries!
